The Freedom Conference is The Conference of Champions! In Naismith's 51 seasons the Freedom has:

20 appearances in the NT Championship Game

12 National Championships (with 4 different teams and 5 different coaches)

10 appearances in the PI Championship game

4 PI Championships

In fact, the Freedom has won the National Championship 6 of the last 18 seasons, 9 of the last 26, and 11 of the last 35. Remarkably, in the last 35 seasons the Freedom has put 18 teams in the Championship game. And the Freedom has won 4 of the last 14 PI Championships, with three different teams. Freedom teams have also been in the Championship Game 6 times in the last 8 seasons with 2 title.

This is the Year of the Guards in Freedom. I picked Guards as the top returning player for 9 of the 12 teams. This season Freedom is going to be very tough! It will be hard to beat having the National Champion and runnerup, as we did last season, but the conference is deeper and tougher this season and there are several teams capable of making a title run again this season.

The conference had a steller non-con season! 6298 RPI for the conference, #1 in Naismith D3, and we currently have 9 teams in the NT chase, 1 in the PIT, and the last two are not far out of a PIT spot. I don't know if any conference, in any World has ever put all 12 teams in the post season, but as unlikely as it is to happen, there is a posibility this season in Freedom. My guess is that we will end up with 9-10 post season teams with 7-8 being in the NT.
